The World’s First Easy Install Solar Shades

Easy Install and Perfect Fitting, Every Time

Say goodbye to poor-fitting shades with light gaps – get a perfect fit for better privacy, light control, and energy savings. High-performance fabrics cut glare and lower your energy bill.

Motorized Shades Without Wires, Batteries or Drilling Holes

Mado shades clip in easily, and our solar panels keep your motor charged continuously

Traditional Shades Vs. Mado

Your Windows Are Costing You Money

Sunlight pours in, heats up your home, and forces your A/C to work overtime — leading to rising energy bills, inconsistent temperatures, and overcooling.

Mado blocks heat before it enters your home, using a precision-fit design that snaps into place, and AI-powered automation to adjust throughout the day — all powered by the sun.

In Eco Mode, Mado’s AI calculates the path of the sun, weather conditions, and time of day to automatically adjust the shades for maximum energy savings. You’ll never have to manually open and close your shades to save energy again.

Real People, Real Results

It’s Really Easy

Every Single Detail Designed For You

Every aspect of Mado has been carefully designed to provide luxury, precision fitting shades at a fraction of the price of traditional custom shades.

Seamless Control

Button Control: The included Mado remote comes pre-configured and ready to control every shade right out of the box, and it can also be paired to control multiple shades.

MadoAI: Use our AI-assisted app to take the guesswork out of energy savings, security and maximizing natural light.

Matter Compatibility: Connect your Mado shade to your smart home from Alexa, Google, Apple or Samsung using Matter over Thread. No special hubs required.

Mado’s Origin Story

When Andrew and Michael came together to form Mado Dynamic, they combined Andrew’s expertise in developing category-defining products with Michael’s dedication to a cleaner, more efficient, and intelligent future with his pioneering work in energy efficiency.

For over 30 years, Andrew has been at the cutting edge of consumer innovation – pioneering digital music composition (Radio Baton), personal audio (Jawbone), streaming video (Slingbox), smart home automation (R2), and more recently, simplifying TV (Caavo) and creating a communication platform for seniors (JubileeTV). But the opportunity to rethink something as essential as windows – at scale – was too compelling to ignore.

Andrew’s interest in shading systems began 15 years ago while programming home automation. At the time, shades were a frustrating challenge – expensive, complicated, and difficult to install. The problem became personal when he moved into a home with breathtaking views but inefficient single-pane windows. His family felt the impact firsthand – sweltering summer heat, freezing winter drafts. Determined to find a better solution, he explored automated shades, shutters, films, and insulating curtains. Every option was either too expensive, too complex, or simply ineffective.

Together, Andrew and Michael saw an opportunity to reinvent window shades – making them affordable, easy to install, and truly smart. More than just a product, Mado Dynamic is driven by a mission: to enhance comfort, save energy, and create a better world for our children.

Mado Unveils To The World
